The two girls chatted incessantly and soon arrived at Tang Mansion.
It wasn’t Tang Tang’s birthday yet, so there weren’t many people at Tang Mansion.
When they arrived, the family was gathered around watching the chess game between Mr. Tang and Chen Zhinan.
"Grandpa!" Tang Suiyu and Ye Gushen walked over, "Did you win?"
"Almost!" Grandpa Tang was staring at the chessboard, clearly losing the game.
Suddenly, Old Sir Yang’s eyes lit up, "Gu Shen, come here, help me play a few pieces, I need to go to the restroom."
"Grandpa, aren’t you afraid I’ll lose for you?" Ye Gushen glanced at the chessboard, they were about to be checkmated.
"No, no, this game, I’m definitely going to win!" Grandpa Tang quickly made his exit.
Everyone present knew he was escaping because he was about to lose.
Tang Suiyu followed with a smile, thinking that Grandpa was smart to get a strong helper like Ye Gushen.
"Uncle Ye, you have to do your best! Otherwise, Grandpa’s perfect image of you will be ruined..." Tang Suiyu whispered in his ear, kindly reminding him.
"Zhinan, you guys need to make sure to finish this endgame well, Grandpa will be back soon to see if he’s really going to win." Tang Tang stood next to Chen Zhinan, smiling lightly.
"Cousin, I can’t believe you’re siding with an outsider!" Tang Suiyu pursed her lips, but Ye Gushen took her small hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.
By her ear, his clear voice said, "Wife, I need some motivation."
"If you win, I’ll reward you with a nap together!"
Mother Tang had just walked over and heard Sui Sui’s words.
In broad daylight, her daughter was really that open!
Ye Gushen’s dark eyes curved slightly, this reward was very tempting.
They played a few moves, and Tang Suiyu glanced around with her big eyes, noticing Shi Qingqing’s gaze. Wasn’t her staring a bit too obvious?
If it weren’t for the crowd, she would worry Teacher Chen might get lost in her gaze.
It was autumn now, but the room’s heater was on, and many people were standing around; she felt hot all of a sudden!
"Uncle Ye, it’s so hot." Tang Suiyu whispered, "Let’s finish quickly!"
The pace of their chess game picked up significantly.
When Ye Gushen finally won, Tang Suiyu was just about to speak when Grandpa Tang’s hearty laughter came from behind.
"Haha, I told you this game was mine to win!"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, you’re amazing!" Tang Tang laughed as she walked over, "Grandpa, do you still want to play? Sui Sui and Gu Shen just arrived, let them rest a bit."
Grandpa Tang sat down heartily, "Sure, alright! Zhinan, let’s have another game, I must win this time!"
Tang Suiyu laughed, pulling Ye Gushen to leave.
She said smugly, "Don’t worry, Grandpa won’t play chess against you. He can’t beat you. He probably thinks Teacher Chen can’t either. He used to bully me at home because he could beat me! Now I have a protector, I’m not afraid of him anymore!"
"Remember to reward your protector." Ye Gushen pulled her small hand as they walked out, "I remember there’s a beautiful Maple Forest here, let’s take a stroll."
"Sure! It’s probably my domain, I’ll show you around!" Tang Suiyu turned back to ask Shi Qingqing if she wanted to come.
Shi Qingqing didn’t join, she wanted to watch Chen Zhinan play chess. So, they left.
They walked quite a distance before Tang Suiyu suddenly realized, "I forgot to bring the camera!"
"The phone doesn’t have the same feel!" She blinked innocently, "Seeing the Maple Forest in the distance, I suddenly wanted to take a picture of Uncle Ye!"
